The Return of Pierre

Pierre Poilievre won his byelection and will be returning to Parliament in September. He’s raring to go, and probably drafting a whole bunch of new catchphrases and slogans. He’s back and ready to try and convince conservatives he’s the right man for the job.But, in the media, the picture being painted is a little less clear. One poll shows the party being neck and neck with the Liberals. Another shows a huge disparity. How do we make sense of all of this?Harrison Lowman joins Jesse to break it down.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanFurther reading: Poilievre’s Prospects: CPC voters back him; those who could’ve put him over the top are far less supportive - Angus ReidFor both Carney and Poilievre, success has nothing to do with their strengths and everything to do with their weaknesses - The Toronto StarPierre Poilievre attempts to recapture the narrative... | This Hour Has 22 MinutesAlex Jones’ Infowars will go up for sale yet again, judge rules | CNN BusinessB.C. nurse Amy Hamm gets suspension, fines for comments about transgender people - CTVNewsSponsors:oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!BetterHelp: Visit https://BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.If you value this podcast, support us!
